Whats THIS ibanez guitar worth?

uhhhanthony · 05-15-2007, 09:07 PM

hey, i was think about selling this and was wondering what this ibanez guitar is worth. i dont have a clue to what model it is, but im sure all of you do...it has a few dinks in it, looks like everything is stock.. thanks!

I think it's an early S440 or something like that.
It looks nice and clean but they're not worth a lot at all.Pretty low model i think.

What type of trem is on it and does it say ont the back of the headstock where it was made (Japan or Korea)?

'Jemsite' would be the quickest place to get a positive ID on it,just don't mention ebay.

its a floyd rose, floating trem..and the back says it was made in japan..thanks alot.

Are you sure thats not an Original Edge trem, not a floyd? It sure looks like one in the pics.

canuck brian · 05-16-2007, 04:12 PM

looks like an old Sabre. When you get a price, let me know. I'd really like to get my hands on that machine you've got there if it's what i think it is.

It's an old S440 from about 1990. Here are the specs(notice how it says WH, which means white, like yours)

I'd say 400 is a good price if it's in prestine condition. Add more if there's a hard case.

uhhhanthony · 05-17-2007, 02:16 AM

hmm, its not by all means in pristine condition. it has a good number of dinks. nothing very big though. and there is a hard shell case that it would come with =P thanks a lot. heres a few more pictures..

Whatever that is, it could also be an 540S, as the 440's didn't come with IBZ/USA Dimarzio-made pickups. That is, unless someone swapped them and the hardware(which is black in the photos).

Although, since Chrome Edge trems are actually rarer than black, and there are guys out there who buy up the IBZ/USA pickups used, it's entirely possible it really is a 440S just modded slightly.

Alex-D33 · 05-17-2007, 08:25 AM

My guess is ...from the pic's it looks like a S540HSS ..The year ....hummm...maybe somewhere between 1988 & 1990 .
Like Toshiro said IBANEZ didn't put USA PUP'S on the S440 .
One more thing did you chek the neck plate . Also it would help alot if you post the SERIAL NUMBER ...I could help you much more if you have the number

uhhhanthony · 05-17-2007, 11:10 AM

i dont know how well you can see this picture, but there is NO serial number on it, which puzzles me..i started a thread somewhere else about that but noone seemed to help me out on that issue..is it a fake or something??
